A cooling system for a hot plate. The cooling system includes a plurality of pipelines inside the hot plate. Each pipeline has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet permits a cooling fluid to enter and the outlet permits the cooling fluid to leave. The cooling fluid running inside the pipelines picks up heat from the hot plate and carries away so that the hot plate is cooled.

1. A cooling system for a hot plate, comprising: a hot plate having a plurality of radially arranged internal pipelines, wherein each pipeline has an inlet and an outlet positioned adjacent to each other and along a plane parallel to the hot plate, and wherein each pipeline is separate from the other pipeline.
2. The cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the cooling fluid is a gas.
3. The cooling system of claim 2 , wherein the cooling gas is selected from a group consisting of air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and inert gas.
4. The cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the cooling fluid is a liquid.
5. The cooling system of claim 4 , wherein the cooling liquid is selected from a group consisting of water, cold medium or hot medium.
6. The cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the cooling fluid is a mixture of gas and liquid.
7. The cooling system of claim 6 , wherein the mixture of gas and liquid is selected from a group consisting of air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, inert gas, water, cold medium and hot medium.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the inlet and the outlet of each pipeline are on a same side or within a same quadrant of the hot plate.
